The Bavarian giants’ chairman is reserved on the prospect of a new investor for the club, after reports came in that they are looking for a financier alongside Adidas and Audi
Bayern Munich chief executive officer Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has denied rumours that the club are searching for a new financier, and insisted that no discussions have taken place for such a proposal. He said that there is no interest
from a concrete new investor until now.
As of now, Der FCB have money pumping from both Audi and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adidas-c38219, but are speculated to be looking for another company to buy their shares. The club official claimed there are no offers on the table yet, and played down the reports
that have been speculated in the media.
"There is nothing concrete. What has been reported is partly wrong," he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The CEO stated that it is ideal to get another major investment along with the two current sponsors, but there is no plan for that to happen. Moreover, he admitted that it will be beneficial for them, but said that it is too early
to comment on as no talks have been held with the board members.
"In theory, it would be possible to get another sponsor alongside Adidas and Audi on board, but there is neither a concrete plan, nor talks for such. We may not even make use of it [the idea]," the former Bayern Munich and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan striker added.
However, the former player stressed that the Bundesliga giants will be open to the idea of a potential new investor, but he said they will be careful to make sure that they have major control of the club’s shares. He conceded that
the Bavarian outfit will retain at least 70 per cent of the shares.
"We have imposed the rule that at least 70 per cent of the shares must remain in club hands, but until then we have to sell just under 11.8 per cent," he finally concluded.
Rummenigge confirmed that Die Roten is prepared to part with only 11.8 percent of the shares.
